    If we sign Moute and he's 100 percent that would help.

    Re-sign Clint...Pray that Jimmy Butler wants to come here and trade for him and get Melo after he’s bought out and we are 2018/2019 Champs!

    :D

    no mention of Melo’s defense or lack thereof

    Melo shouldn’t be starting on a good team, he should be a bench player that can provide a scoring boost

    And he’s also an even worse offensive player than ariza. What I’m saying is I’m not super high on ariza at this age and I cringe every time he puts the ball on the floor like most of us.... but let’s stop acting like with our money and assets he’s just gonna be so easy to replace

    Is Rodney Hood still available? I haven't seen any updates. He played well for Utah; good 3&D player.

    He is available but the problem is that he's a restricted FA. We can offer so little for him, Cleveland would likely match.

    I think you touched on why Morey was trying to get Melo (or had him b4 NYC reneged)
    You think if we had Melo in the playoffs we'd have lost game 6 or game 7? I don't think so at all

    Who are Hardens closest friends? Who makes most logical sense n go from there.... he’s tried to get Ibaka before. Melo was a few days before being a Rocket.

    DeRozan
    Butler
    Ibaka
    Melo
    Wall
    Any player from La.

    He couldn't even play against Utah and be effective.

    How does the logic of not being able to play against an inferior team, yet you're supposed to be able to be effective against one that's vastly superior make any sense

    Appreciate @Nachobar's contributions in this thread.

    So in the latest @Codman signature, is he insinuating the Rockets could explore trading Anderson's crap contract for Chandler Parsons crap contract in an effort to get JaMychal Green?

    I don’t really understand the sudden hype turning on for Melo again. Did y’all watch him this year? He was terrible. In my opinion, definitely the biggest issue with the Thunder. He laughed off the idea of coming off the bench and shot a career low shooting percentage, not to mention he is a complete negative on the defensive end. You can blame it on Donovan or Westbrook all you want but Melo is gonna play the way he plays and seemed like he’s unwilling to change that despite poor shooting. I don’t see why that would change here.

    (1) You seem to be stalking my posts... and not just in this thread (kudos!)
    (2) Have you ever heard of situational match-ups - certain teams play certain styles = some players more effective against other teams / players
    (3) Did you watch any of the success OKC seemed to have against GSW last season?

    A little upset bc the logic doesn't make sense I see.

    I've heard of if you can't play against a worse team then you have little chance of being effective against someone way better. Or do you think it's a video game.

    Did you go look yet?
    Also... you sound like a troll. Why would you want to be a troll on here? You were quick to jump to the video game metaphor... are you bored at your me-ma's house? Enjoy the holiday, breh!

    There's nothing to look at. Your logic made no sense and you've done nothing but get upset about it. Next
